Ever read or played something related to Warhammer 40K? Congratulations, this is the closest thing to a korean adaptation of the setting.

Emperor has returned isn't a kind read, this is a grimdark setting, and you will feel the cruelty on everything, from the cowardly and miserable masses, to the sadistic and petty knights, to the treacherous and psychopathic elite, everything in this world that cannot go well will not go well, and insanity is one of the core elements in the setting.

Now why would you read it then? For a similar reason that people like 40K, because it's filled with awesome fights and because while MC is facing something that looks impossible to fix, every little victory counts.

Those wishing for comedy, cuddly harems and standard wish fulfillment may want to stay back, those wishing for a darker read, go ahead, this is the good stuff.

I read this till chapter 47 years ago and boy it was good. It has a dark theme and this is what makes is unique. Altought mc may seems a little cliche at the begining he will have a character later on. Plot is good not woah but not ehh either. I suggets you to give this a chance. When this hit the chapter 50 i will comeback and edit this comment (if i still have vip and if i cant edit feel free to comment below) anyway it is decent. At last mc isnt a cringe edgy grandpa stuck in a teen's body. You will feel that he is mature like how he should be.

81 chapters out so far and I've read them all.

Honestly, the thing that's making me keep reading this isn't the story (chaotic and poorly structured as it is), it's the vague feeling that this is a fantasy reimagining/adaptation of Warhammer 40k.

The developments keep on being kind of confusing because it seems like next to no effort or time is taken to give relevant background info.

"Ok so there's an enemy to the north called 'the crack' and it's NOT a cheap drug but it IS a danger to the empire and possibly the world. There's an army fighting it and keeping it in place but it's still creeping past them and not getting properly eradicated?"

On a character note: Haven't seen a single interesting character that's gotten ANY attention, don't even consider the MC interesting as he is now, though his past is pretty interesting... which gets next to no screentime.

tldr summary:

Vague and confusing story where the primary draw is there being parallels to Warhammer 40k which is the only thing making it interesting. I'm still here because sunk cost fallacy.
